Sounds good but I don't want to waste time watching a video when I could just look at 7 lines of text within a couple of seconds

You need to use the latest tech to stay relevant
Aim for maximum theoretical purity or pattern adherence
You must adhere to Uncle Bob's clean code rules at all times
100% code coverage is something that matters
You should always optimize for performance
You should always optimize for web scale
AI is about to replace all programmers
